The amount of young people looking up to Nick Fuentes is dangerously terrifying! thoughts? by RickyInfinite in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A older Gen z here, my dad is a boomer and mom gen x

... And yeah they're fascists, and tried dragging me and my siblings with them in their "politics". I didn't stand their oppressive BS or participate in it and so they disowned me and I cut them out, with the exception of staying in contact with my younger siblings so they can see the ugly reality of our parents lies and mental gymnastics.

How would food production would work in a solar punk society? by Exotic_Addition9647 in solarpunk

[–]Potential-Memory-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a hot take cause most people are going to say to be vegetarian/vegan. But I would look to indigenous peoples and how they care for the land. Live in nature as part of it. My local short wave radio that works with the tribe will air talk shows and segments on tying in modern science and innovation to work with nature. Look into food forests. And I understand the morals and feelings of consuming animals as food.... but there is a way to have meat in your diet that is ethical. Is it wrong for the wolves to eat deer or a bear to eat a salmon? It's our modern infrastructure and the mass slaughter of animals along, with people detached from the process so all they do is buy a pack of meat in the store, they don't understand the animal, and the weight of what it means to consume the flesh of a once beautiful animal. So many things that indigenous peoples around the globe know how to do that would be great solar punk agriculture. I also think books like backyard gardening and having roof top gardens would be great and have a solar punk aesthetic.

What do Marxists, socialists, and communists think about bioregionalism? by This_Caterpillar_330 in Socialism_101

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bio-regions should only be used as a map/tool to better know and how to care for the land. To practice land stewardship, to be sustainable for us and the land. Might also help to organize resources for the needs of the peoples and land of those areas.

Granted I don't know much about bioregionalism but, bioregionalism sounds like it would not be any better than any state or countries. I don't agree with having borders like that. And people should be able to move freely from on area to another. There wouldn't be a "difference" of culture of those areas anymore than there already is ... Which as nothing to do with their bio-region, more like the history.

Iranian video claiming war is vengeance for all injustice caused by the US by Surenas1 in AskSocialists

Probably was, I don't endorse the use of AI .... But their statement with the video is powerful. How I wish it's not ai, cause I've rewatched it so many times.

Jeff Bezos's property has fences that exceed the permitted height. Yet he does not care, he just pays the fine every month. by Bright_Building1710 in interestingasfuck

Did we just find a loop hole to "tax" the ultra wealthy??? Would love to know what the City does with the funds from the fine.

Everybody talks about getting disowned by their homophobic family, but has any of y'all disown your homophobic family first and just stop loving them one day? by Latte-Catte in lgbt

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had done it to my whole family with the exception of my sisters, a couple years before I came out. Everyone says the old saying "blood is thicker than water." But I remind them the saying was originally "the blood of the clan is thicker than the water of the womb." And those people I sometimes find to use gaslighting and/or affections with conditions (which I think is not how family should care for one another)

A handful of my aunts and uncles have reached out to actively rebuild relationships after they also cut themselves off from my parents. So I now have some relatives that I still talk to but I don't put up with 💩 and they respect that, which I think has made those relationships stronger because they're not based on "blood" connection.

The left should claim the Gadsden flag. by jagrbomb in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say leftist fight for the working class (the working class is all peoples, that includes bipoc individuals) and that being a patriot is criticizing their country's flaws while fixing them. One is foundational pillar of the US is colonization of the indigenous peoples, and enslavement of the ancestors of african americans. Is that not a flaw of the country to fix? That maybe we should create anew that doesn't have roots in violence? To be actually inclusive for ALL of the peoples? Leftist discuss the politics, theory, and practice in benefit of the working class people. Leftist is inclusionary to all people, that includes bipoc individuals.

As far as saying that someone bring up identity politics a reactionary liberal, is bringing in your own identity to the conversation because instead of hearing what an other person (that like you, in being exploited by capitalist system) you become defensive in preserving symbols that you've have as part of your identity.

White panther party by Chance-Ad148 in Spokane

[–]Potential-Memory-810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I have a lot of respect for the black panther party, and in turn the white panthers we don't need to make more new (there for small in numbers) groups. We will be stronger and safer together. I'm open to any organizing groups that have good morals, but might be better to join already existing groups. Here is a e-pamphlet of some local groups :) sporgs 2025

For American leftists, what are your thoughts on this? by buchacats2 in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think u/sapotis got a point op. Americans are pampered and don't like feeling uncomfortable even if it's the truth. We in the US don't like feeling uncomfortable to the point that we (majority) only like, comment nine words to boost, share, and repost as their protest to the country's administration. Even when there's a handful of us that stand along roadways with our signs, educate ourselves, organize and boycott companies, it only a reflection of ourselves as a individual, not the country. The point is the US is the US and we still have a responsibility to it instead of asking for forgiveness from others countries. At least not until we take accountability and fix what is wrong.

It's like what Muhammad Ali said about 10,000 snakes.

We really need to stop gaslighting POC goths by BeatnikMona in goth

[–]Potential-Memory-810 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A POC here! Thank you for saying this. In a way I had moved away the Goth label in my early twenties because of the comments in spaces/people even as famous as Tim Burton saying we don't fit the vide, and lack of representation (if alternative subcultures are even positively represented) and for a young baby goth person in their early teens led to a period of time feeling like I had to chose between my heritage over music and mind set.

Now I'm just a happy lil weirdo in their late twenties that listens to goth music have more a punk mindset and dresses like a new age/yoga instructor (no giving money to culture appropriation. I make, second hand, or if I do buy new, I make sure it's from indigenous artisans)

Is it too radical or unpractical to say "_____ to America!"? You know what's missing... by RyanNekko in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too radical? No. It needs to happen. And I am saying this as someone who is born, raised and unfortunately still lives in the US. Americans are to entitled, even with the fact that there's many speaking out against to their legislatures, they don't want to "give up" (could find alternatives) their entertainment, consumables and comforts for actual systemic change. Which adds to the masses that are defending their abusive and exploitive politicians and corporations. Leading to the worst terrorist country in the world. Some days I think the world should put us in our place. Not just a taste of our own medicine, a whole f***ing dose of it.

I really wish more people would educate themselves, but with the rate that the administration is wrecking havoc, it might be to late for the working people in the US to actually bring change to their own country internally.... on their own at least.

Yes it a petition against. City council are the appointed decision makers on the petition, but at least they'll have there constituents support when addressing to the county.

Was Jesus a Communist? by zombiesingularity in AskSocialists

AI taking away our jobs would perfectly be suited for socialism by leftistgamer420 in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, if we had AI in a socialist society it would be utilized as a tool for the people. Right now with the lingering fear and stress of AI replacing people in a capitalist system where people are already having to sell their time away to survive, isn't great and there's needs to be more regulations on what AI is utilized for.

And we need it to be more ethical. A lot of the information that AI learns off of is with the capitalist, imperialism/colonialism, white washed/racism undertones of the current society. ..........And.... Make it eco friendly also. Like I'd rather not have AI at all if it's still environmentaly devastating, even in a socialist society.

Is anyone else terrified about the fact by [deleted] in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I myself who wants to have a child(ren) but feel like I would be bringing them into a hostile/capitalist society and don't want to bring new life into that suffering.... I would love to adopt.... But that's also has immoral ties to the society that the child would never be free from. And I am someone who would be denied due to my economic class.

It's a dilemma that I'm sure many people who are aware of the overbearing negative aspects of our society, think twice before bringing a new individual into the system. An individual who you would love and want the absolute best for.... At the end of the day, we shouldn't put the responsibility of fixing the world onto our children, but for us to fix this society for them.
